I reinstalled my window 10. I already have kontakt instruments in my external hard drive. How can I

Victor Han

I reinstalled my window 10. I already have kontakt instruments in my external hard drive. But my Native Access doesn't know that kontakt instruments are on the external hard drive. Should I re-download all my kontakt instruments? It will probably take 3 or 4 days.

I think there might be a way to solve this without downloading all that stuff. Does anybody help me?

This picture shows that I have all the instruments in my external hard drive.

Hello Victor Han, can you please try the steps in this Knowledge Base Article below:

Reinstalling a Komplete Bundle Without Re-Downloading Kontakt Libraries

Also, By changing the installation preferences you change the paths of your future installations,

I always highly advise following Native Instruments recommendations regarding file handling, this can help prevent several issues from occurring in the future.

How to Change the Install Locations in Native Access

Applications are best left default, the download location is negligible and the content location may be external if the format is supported. 

We recommend using NTFS on Windows and Mac OS Extended (Journaled) on Mac OSX 10.12 and lower, APFS for 10.13 and higher.

To change the paths of installations you have already made please see:

I hope this helps☺️
